Trying A New Operating System, Fedora KDE Plasma

Leave a comment

I have been tinkering again, and this time I have been experimenting with the Fedora Linux operating system.

Fedora Linux is a Linux distribution developed by the Fedora Project. It was originally developed in 2003 as a continuation of the Red Hat Linux project.

There are different flavors of Fedora and I have been testing the KDE Plasma variant and I like it very much. I am a long-time user and I have been able to customize it to my liking and my workflow as an enthusiast who knows enough to be dangerous. I am using it on my desktop and laptop, so I am all-in.

So far, it’s worked well for me. I look forward to using it more and adjusting to how different it is from the Debian/Ubuntu distributions I have been using since I switched to Linux from Windows many years ago. This looks like a promising start to doing something new in Nerd Corner.

Daily Prompt – No Bringing Back Dinosaurs, Not Even One!

Daily writing prompt
If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?

All it took was one Jurassic Park movie to make me realize that no dinosaurs should ever be brought back. Not even the “cute” ones because that is a slippery slope that we should never slide down. They are best studied from the safety of paleontology and science books. Dinosaurs should remain extinct. We do however have birds that are a descendant of the raptor.

To quote Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) from the first Jurassic Park movie, “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”
